jarrod ~ what a nice sinker you have!
Apparently, Rick Adair gave Wash a few pointers about the pitch ~ certainly seemed to work. Eight innings of shut-out baseball in the Metrodome ain't too shabby!
He only surrendered 5 hits and one walk, while striking out four.
offense just enough...
Gotta tip your cap to the opposing pitcher whose line matched Jarrod's almost exactly, except in the run column. But, the offense was able to do just enough and then add some insurance in the ninth.
get back up on that horse!
No doubt there was some serious acid churning on the field and in the dugout as Brandon pitched to the first batter of the ninth inning ~ a walk on four straight pitches. But, then came two strikeouts and a flyout ~ works better than Malox, Tums and Rolaids combined!
defense just continues to impress
Yowsa - can that Franklin play center field! And Cedeno made a great play at third (Adrian DH'ing today) to Sweeney at first (who did some pretty impressive splits to stay on the bag). The web gems just keep piling up - I LOVE it!
split the four-gamer
Gotta love that - .500 on the road, in the Metrodome? I'll take it!
oooohh, look at Washburn go!
